During the drive to the hospital, I made phone calls. I called Dan's parents. I called the skating student I was going to teach privately on Saturday morning and cancelled her lesson. I called the skating school director at the Chapel Hills Rink and left a message on her home phone machine that there had been an accident and I wouldn't be able to substitute teach as planned. I then called my father and asked if he could get my brother to come to the hospital.
My dad had some information for me: he'd found out Dan had fallen off a bridge. How? Where? He did not have those answers.
As I drove to the hospital I kept saying to myself, "He fell off a bridge! Where? What bridge?" There are no bridges between Dan's office at Pikes Peak and Wasatch and our home in Cheyenne Meadows. What in the world happened?
This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)
